Size?

nice selection but terrible service. waiting for answer to my request where my missing order is. after two mails still no answer

Weirdly Size has a signed photo of Shaun Ryder on the wall. I guess Shaun likes his trainers. I do too. Maybe me and Shaun could be friends? I’m not quite sure how that would happen. Maybe I’ll ask the chaps at Size next time I’m there if they have his number.
Size has some really nice trainers, and because they stock fewer brands than somewhere like Schuh, they have far more obscure variations and colour combinations of some of your favourite trainers. They only sell trainers in here really, so don’t come in thinking you might be able to get something smart.
They have a bunch of Polaroid photos of staff members up on one of the walls too. I always like it when chains add a bit of a personal touch to one of shops.

Ahhh, Size. The boyf loves Size, and 5 therefore find myself dragged into Size every time we go shopping. It’s only fair, really, considering how often I drag him into Zara and Paperchase.
Size is a great place for trainers, as long as you only want them for fashion. If you’re looking for a pair of trainers to get dirty and play football in, go somewhere else. Size is all about trainer fashion. I know, I didn’t know there was such a thing either, living as I do in a pair of red Cons that I’ve had for 3 years. But apparently having cool trainers is as important to the grown men of Manchester as it was when we were kids and wanted flashing trainers. Unfortunately for me, Size do not sell adult-​size flashing trainers, and judging by the look I got from the two cool staff members and the boyf, it’s not cool to ask such a question in Size.
Price wise, expect to pay around £60 for whatever it is you want in Size. According to the boyf, cool trainers are worth spending such riches on. See my aforementioned Cons to see why I don’t get that. In terms of brands, Size carries Adidas, Nike, Vans, New Balance and Puma. Expect bright colours and cool features, and a prwetty decent range of hi-​tops.
I like Size. Not because I’ll ever find anything here for myself (they don’t stock many Cons) but becase I will always, always be able to find the boyf a present here. And I can always, always win his love back on a shopping trip by letting him gambol around in here for a bit…

Small. Well, it posed itself as a question! The shop I discuss is set amongst that tiny little row of stores opposite Marks and Spencer, so it’s bound to be a bit mini.
Size (the question mark is irritating me now as I’m typing this in Microsoft Word and it keeps reformatting my sentences) is a shoe outlet that markets itself as offering ‘rare and exclusive trainers’ as well as ‘deadstock’ which as far as I can tell are shoe models which have been discontinued but still look cool and have people clamouring for them. Retro is so now, don’tcha know. The shop offers the strange and unusual, bright colours and chunky high-​tops — no doubt sales of such have been boosted by the continued popularity of Jedward — and exclusives specifically for Size. But be warned. This is no cheap and cheerful store. You can pay anything up to… brace yourselves, because I can see a lot of coffee being spat at computer screens when I announce this… £600 for a pair of particularly special retro trainers. I know, I know. To some of us that’s a month’s wages. Heck, to some of us that’s TWO months’ wages!
Size is a great little addition to Manchester’s waning shoe culture, but the size of the shop (I’m getting confused now) means that the stock can be a little limited and shoes can come and go very quickly. So be vigilant and keep your eyes open, because you could be in line for a real gem.

If you’re after a pair of box-​fresh sneakers to go with the cool threads you’ve just bought from Oi Polloi or Thomas St. Post Office, head to Size?
A tiny store-​front at the bottom of Market Street, it’s run by a chain but looks and feels like an independent boutique with great music, enthusiastic staff and a mind-​blowing range of sneakers, trainers, baseball boots and hi-​tops. As well as all the big labels, they stock exclusives from Fred Perry, Puma, Nike and Adidas Originals. When I popped in yesterday, they also had a full set of the new Adidas collaborations with Jeremy Scott, Redman, Kazukit and Nizza Colabs. When I mentioned liking the former, the guy smiled and said they were out of my size already and were expecting the rest to fly out by the rest of the weekend.
The lesson? If you see something you love at Size?, snap them up!

The genius of this place is that despite being a rather successful regional chain, it lets you believe that it is a small independant gem, which in turn makes you feel like your trainers are a real find– just don’t look in JD Sports if you want to avoid disapointment!
Added to this is the free magazine which really gives the place a community feel– you belong because a guy called Mike on page 33 says your trainers are ‘fly’!
Despite Size’s tiny proportions, it’s glass front shows off all of it’s wares, sucking you in from across the street like a road safety ignoring tractor beam– when will you be happy Size?! When one of those taxis finally catches me as I zombie across the road?!
It’s obvious that the guys inside know their stuff as Size stocks only the very best. From classic Nike Air Max and Converse to up to the second Pointer and Tretorn, the stocklist is idiot proof.

This shop can be on the expensive side but it is worth it. There is a large variety with lots of unusual pairs and lots of colour! It sometimes gets quite busy but it really is a great little shop for some amazing trainers!

trainer heaven this place, always first stop before origianls store. staff are always cool to chat too and never gets overly hammered for a small shop. highly recommend if its adidas, nike, pumas, converse or whatever. always find what u need

Size? is a great shop to find something a little unusual, whether it be a snazzy colour scheme or something retro, this small shop attracts lots of people and is always very busy. The staff are very helpful and it is easy to tell they are interested on their products. The lay out of the shop is nice to look around. The trainers are reasonably priced when you bear in mind that they are limited editions.

Size? Is a specialist trainer shop catering for sneaker pimps everywhere. If you want an unusual pair of Nike or Adidas this is the place to go. Often they have limited runs which makes this shop very popular. They can be expensive but have to expect to pay more for the more unusual pairs. They also have quite cool props in their window as well. Highly recommended
